3 Army soldiers, 9 others accused in gun trafficking ring

Throw the book at them.

I am sure Joe is working on a deal to get them to plead down to being ugly in exchange for street enforcement of his climate deal...

I'm going to hazard a guess the three military personnel are members, or close associates, of the Black Gangster Disciples. I call the gang that because that's how they are identified by law enforcement. Obviously the Army Times wants to be PC.
